"“On numerous occasions the intelligence community incidentally collected information about U.S. citizens involved in the Trump transition,” Mr. Nunes said at a news conference on Capitol Hill. “Details about U.S. persons, details associated with the incoming administration — details with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value — were widely disseminated in intelligence community reporting.”"

"Intelligence agencies are permitted to record calls even if they involve American citizens.
Afterward, when the raw intelligence — in this case, a transcript — is turned into a finished report and distributed to other parts of the government,
Intelligence agencies are permitted to record calls even if they involve American citizens.
Afterward, when the raw intelligence — in this case, a transcript — is turned into a finished report and distributed to other parts of the government, the name of any American picked up incidentally is normally masked. But names can be unmasked for counterintelligence or counterterrorism investigations, or if they are needed to understand the context of the intelligence or its importance."

Gorsuch Says He’d Rule Against Trump if Law Required It

The Supreme Court nominee also repeated his earlier private criticism of the president’s attacks on judges who rule against him.

Strict constructionists should not sit on the Supreme Court.
